I used my Blueridge BR-70 with a B-band A2.2 pickup in it. Sounds about as natural as it would unplugged IMO. Love that system.. Hope the music is tolerable. I'm just a hacker...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN-QFFnjWYw Sorry it came out so dark. I'm working on fixing these....... Ryan EDIT: I added more clips below since yesterday....... I think they came out a bit lighter. Last Edited By: intune66 08/26/08 10:49 AM. Edited 5 times.

I figured out what I did wrong and why the vid came out so dark. I'm going to redo this when I get a chance. Thanks for the compliment, Ray...... It's a lot more fun when you have someone in there playing some lead and backing up vocals, but so far these particular gigs have been solo. Ryan

No need for a feedback buster (soundhole plug), which means that the guitar top can ring openly and sound very natural. I'm very happy with the Blueridge B-band combo . IMO, similar to using a mic without louder volume f.b. issues..... Last Edited By: intune66 08/25/08 02:04 PM. Edited 2 times.

The name of the 2nd song is in my words actually. Right Where I Need to Be, by country singer Gary Allan. A local country band I used to go see did a killer version of it years ago when it first came out, and it kinda stuck with me after that. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the song Someday (Steve Earle tune). Great song. They used to do a spectacular job with that one too. SO it's another I had to learn...... If you like country at all, the Steve Earle Essential CD has an outstanding collection of songs....... Last Edited By: intune66 08/25/08 07:41 PM. Edited 2 times.

The audio was recorded with the tiny built in mic on a Canon Mini-DV camcorder. Burritts Cafe' has exceptional room acoustics, which certainly helped. OK. Here's part of 1 more....... I'm not very good at this and I made these files way too big....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8-xX9lp4I8 Here's an old Beatles 1 you may recognize- http://s537.photobucket.c...w&current=NORWOOD.flv And the 1 that BR40er asked about........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIa6nqvsDl0 Someday (mentioned above)...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWx79LiCmVI OK I'm done for now...... Thanks again for your kind comments. Last Edited By: intune66 08/29/08 06:37 PM. Edited 10 times.

That song was made popular by Gary Allan back in '99 and it's off his album Smoke Rings in the Dark (another good song he did). So Geez, it's already been 9 years since then. Hard to believe, isnt it? Thanks. Glad you like it. That's Awesome...... Davo. The AMP was actually the house PA. I was plugged in direct to a mixer that runs into a power amp that powers overhead speakers. It's a pretty classy setup. The sound comes from above and the room has real good acoustics............... The B-Band A2.2 that I use is a dual pickup system. It uses an undersaddle pickup and an AST (soundboard transducer) which adheres inside the guitar under the saddle and acts as an internal mic. The blend of the 2 pickups is amazing and sounds incredibly natural with NO feedback. It has a volume and blend control that conveniently mount just inside the soundhole of your guitar (unseen). I love the system. Here's what it looks like, if interested....... http://www.musiciansfrien...u=306803&src=3SOSWXXA (Good customer reviews there and even better on Harmony Central).... I bought a couple of these systems thru Bob Colosi Saddles (Highly Recommended) recently. Bob has Excellent customer support and so does the B-band company...... The other thing I will add (Hope I'm not making this boring and overdoing it on information....Sorry) is that I have this system in 3 different guitars and it sounds VERY different in each plugged in. It captures the natural sound dynamics of the individual guitar very well, which is a great thing for a pickup to do. I'll bet it's one of the best on the market (if not the best)..... Just my opinion though. Ryan Last Edited By: intune66 08/27/08 07:35 PM. Edited 1 times.
